I climb the trails to forget,To forget my identity and lose myself,And become part of the surroundings,I absorb the salt of the waves,My thoughts interrupted by cameras clicking,I feel the rocks move beneath me as I step onto sturdier ground,I find myself at Lands End in San Francisco,On a day without fog clouding over the Golden Gate Bridge.

I watched a dog topple down the mountain,Only to look ahead at the steep ascent,Wondering what would have happened if the dog kept going,Enough of the what ifs, I looked at my phone,Always an easy distraction from the hike,I see I’ve logged 7.5 miles for the day,I feel alive and refreshed to be outside,Instead of the dark room where my big computer screen resides.

When photos on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter distract,It can sometimes diminish the urge to put on my hiking shoes and explore the trails that line the bay,It’s easy to forget there’s a whole world out there,But it’s just as easy to forget that I am me,And that I am insignificant as I am just a small speck on the mountain,

How’s that for perspective?Then I stand by the edge and take a selfie,And post the photos to tell the world that I have been here,Marking my place,One can only hope,By taking photos and posting them online,I feel I’m doing my part in sharing that experience,By inspiring others to get up out of their pjs and away from their screens,They learn to open their eyes and perhaps find their way there too,And bask in all its delight.

Director David Karlak launched a Kickstarter campaign to complete his short film RISE, which is about the uprising of robots. I met Karlak at Tribeca Film Festival. Where there, I saw the virtual reality version of RISE, by wearing Oculus Rift strapped to my face and instantly being transported into another land. I was immediately drawn to Karlak's vision and storytelling so was excited to see how the VR version of the film originated as seen in his Kickstarter campaign.

I went into Kostabi World to understand the challenges of being an artist and to understand the business of art. Mark Kostabi is an American artist and composer, who has a studio in Chelsea in Manhattan. Kostabi and I made Unfinished Business to discuss the challenges of spending time on doing new work versus deciding to finish old work that might bring in more money. But being creative means keeping the studio clear of clutter, so one of Kostabi's helpers came up with a genius idea to get rid of a pile of books. While there, I learned a lot about Kostabi's faceless figures and what it says about technology & humanity.

Using wearable technology such as Google Glass and a unique 3D display, M. Henry Jones, a famous East Village artist creates possibly the first art work of Google Glass done in 3D. The process of the Fly’s Eye 3D portrait is revealed through a 7-minute documentary filmed using Boonsri Dickinson, the subject of the art’s iPhone and Google Glass!

M. Henry Jones is a rare find these days. He's an artist with a studio filled with dolls and his mind is always racing with ways to improve his artwork of the Fly's Eye 3D.

When I met M. Henry, he was putting on an art show in the East Village. I thought it would be really cool to use Google Glass to film the process he and his team has been developing for years. Instead of requiring special glasses to see in 3D, a viewer can interact with the art piece and its 3D nature. Also, it's unusual to be able to document the process of art being made, which is what I did using the Google Glass video camera, providing a way to un-intrusively document the artistic process developed by M. Henry, NY photographer Mark Reinertson, Keith Lubell, and his team at SnakeMonkey 3D.

To fabricate the the lens arrays, M. Henry used optical grade polyurethane. When light goes through the 2,000 plus images, a 3D portrait is reconstructed by the lens array. So basically, the portrait tricks the eye to see the image in 3D.

Today M. Henry and I went to Google Glass Basecamp. It was a fun visit! Thank you Ronnie and the Glass team.
